On the way home from work I start brainstorming ideas for a quick healthy meal. I got as far as Chicken....something with chicken....cooking the chicken with something.....chicken and....another item. I wasn't feeling inspired andI knew I would need to make a Kroger run so I decided I would browse the produce department for inspiration. I was inspired by Red Cabbage!
It was just so vibrant and healthy looking. I decided I must structure my meal around working in this beautiful purple head. A vegetable medley would be simple enough, I decided. So I grabbed a zuchinni and a yellow squash
TA-DA!
I chopped the veggies and tossed them in lemon juice and sea salt and steamed them with two crushed garlic cloves and the squeezed lemon peels.
For the chicken I made a marinade out of three simple ingredients.
I recommend tenderizing the meat. I only let is sit for about 5 minutes.
Bake at 325 for 40-45 minutes.
I served with a spring mix salad.
TA-DA!
Yes, I made this recipe up and yes, it was delicous!
Note: I'm going to use the leftover chicken on a salad tomorrow for lunch :)
YUM! This looks SO delicious! I'll have to try it =]
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly! It is so super easy! Itis about 15 minutes of prep at the most and then you just throw it in and wait! I went ahead and put the veggies on the stove and then turned them on when chicken had about 15-20 minutes left. :)
Deletelook at you! I wish I could just throw healthy stuff together and actually expect my husband to eat it! lol
ReplyDeleteMargie,It's hit or miss with Sean. Sometimes he is all about the healthy food and sometimes he turns his nose up at stuff like cabbage!
DeleteBut, funny story: He forgot that I was cooking last night and had gone to subway!
So I ate it by myself anyway:)He felt pretty rotten about it but
he is eating some of the leftover chicken for lunch but I doubt he will eat the veggies ;)
We'll see!
I could never just come up with a recipe on my own! That's so awesome- sounds really good!
